Coaching changes in MLS 2025 include Berhalter at Chicago Fire and Fraser at Toronto FC, impacting team strategies.

Significant coaching changes are reshaping the Eastern Conference as teams prepare for the 2025 MLS season. Chicago Fire FC has made headlines by appointing Gregg Berhalter as their new sporting director and head coach. Berhalter, known for his successful tenure with Columbus Crew SC, aims to instill a competitive culture in Chicago after leading his previous team to a commendable record and multiple playoff appearances.

Toronto FC has also undergone a coaching shift, bringing in Robin Fraser to replace John Herdman. Fraser`s experience from his time with the Colorado Rapids, where he achieved a first-place finish in the Western Conference, will be crucial as he navigates the financial challenges posed by high-profile players like Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi.

New York City FC has opted for a fresh start by hiring Pascal Jansen as their head coach, succeeding Nick Cushing. Cushing had a strong run, leading NYCFC to the semi-finals of the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, but the team is now looking for new strategies under Jansen`s guidance.

As the primary transfer window remains open, teams are actively making adjustments ahead of the season opener on February 22, where New York City FC will face Inter Miami. D.C. United has also been proactive, acquiring $185,000 in General Allocation Money from Real Salt Lake, which could enhance their roster as they prepare for the upcoming challenges.
